I just enjoy writing if my mind allows me to. Nothing serious.

Artificial Unintelligence
Debating thoughts that aren't your own
Owned
Arguments on who has the better master
Wake of a disaster
Slaves who complain their chains are no longer shiny
Dull and whiny
Circles upon circles of political calamity
Voting again; insanity
Inaccuracies with agility
National learning disability
Blame the citizens for where we're at now
Looking how they bow down
Believing blindly in false proclamations
Stripped education
Unaware it's already gone
So long
A system...

Reaper
Stalk the hunter
Fallen prey
A game played in an endless maze
Walking hunted
Fall and pray
The same way against the grain
Scythe into the wheat
Blessed ergot
Sow what you reap
Delusional rot
Gone without a sound
Inhale
Then let it all out
On it's way down
In Hell
Without a doubt
Fan the flames
Sacred shadow
Predator restraint
Naked gallows
An empty rope
A waiting head
Sacrificial goat
Two coins for the dead
Spinal column broke ...

False Sense
A glimpse amidst the innocence
and all it has foretold-
The old no longer bold as they hold nothing more-
For lore before has sang a score
of everything we've lost-
Just to die off at the thought of the cost without attempt-
The ones who sung when they were young
Full of new ideals-
They feel the life that steals the light of what's often not real-
Rotten between the ears-
Forgotten then never here-
Convinced that since there's risk
it's recompensed with reward-
To fall upon that sword once more we cannot afford- ...

Barabbas
Smoke fills my lungs
A fresh new ease
Exchanging my stress
For disease
To blind me of this plague within our streets
Free to be a slave and make ends meet
Puppeted by the corporate on a string
Toasting molotovs in these dreams
Until pitchforks rise to meet the beast
In exhale it all gets released
A fresh new ease
Exchanging my stress
For disease
To blind me of this plague within our streets
Free to be a slave and make ends meet
Puppeted by the corporate on a string
Toasting molotovs in these dreams
Until pitchforks rise to meet the beast
In exhale it all gets released

Warm-Up
Broken fingers grasp the concept
Knuckles cracked and bruised
I cannot beat this feeling
That I may lose
Sanity and friends
Together again
A web that spins
Old news
Shackled to hesitation
Inspiration lost her muse
I have the key within my sight
Shot down from my view
As I leave this place
Tripping within haze
Fast pace substantiates
But i forgot to lace my shoes
Knuckles cracked and bruised
I cannot beat this feeling
That I may lose
Sanity and friends
Together again
A web that spins
Old news
Shackled to hesitation
Inspiration lost her muse
I have the key within my sight
Shot down from my view
As I leave this place
Tripping within haze
Fast pace substantiates
But i forgot to lace my shoes

Serenade
Sparrow sings behind my ear
Such cheer to hear
The Sun peaks out behind the grey clouds
Brightness so loud
Soon it disappears
The melody perches up so near
Bellows from it's little chest so proud
A joy to hear the sounds
My forgotten smiles mirrors
A wonderful moment all too sincere
The beauty of the moments all around
Happiness profound
Such cheer to hear
The Sun peaks out behind the grey clouds
Brightness so loud
Soon it disappears
The melody perches up so near
Bellows from it's little chest so proud
A joy to hear the sounds
My forgotten smiles mirrors
A wonderful moment all too sincere
The beauty of the moments all around
Happiness profound

Dusk Reflectives
Though I shall never repent
Sometimes I'm content just to sit
Observing another sunset
Thinking how fast time has went
Though I think not allowed
I watch the Sun hidden by clouds
Wondering of then and now
Curious of what makes me proud
Lapses in the intermittent
Memories ceasing to ridden
Epiphanies ungiven
The sunlight stays hidden
A lifetime of pain and of love
The hourglass never enough
Whatever I'm measuring from
These reflections in Dusk
Sometimes I'm content just to sit
Observing another sunset
Thinking how fast time has went
Though I think not allowed
I watch the Sun hidden by clouds
Wondering of then and now
Curious of what makes me proud
Lapses in the intermittent
Memories ceasing to ridden
Epiphanies ungiven
The sunlight stays hidden
A lifetime of pain and of love
The hourglass never enough
Whatever I'm measuring from
These reflections in Dusk

Still Loving You
Often said, in painful truth, that the brightest fires burn out the quickest.
I've observed it many times. There must be then, but only one conclusion to be had.
The love we found must be a Sun.
Roaring flames sometimes become comfortable embers. So here I am to stoke the fire.
Shaman on the desert plains who's mission is to burn eternal.
Seered into this Frankenstein heart, where a happiness I never thought I could know lends itself to such suffering; in every moment I miss your smile, every second I feel blind until the chance it returns to me.
...

God(b)less
Precious life
Restless strife
The right in what is wrong
Resentful days
Repentful ways
The knife cuts into song
To break a chord
To take accord
Recording what may last
Before too long
Chord of the song
Rings out from the past
Here is where we shall dance-
Raising glass of stale bourbon
For fear of what may pass-
The die is cast in my burden
Shadow cast of vermin
Hourglass of woman
Serpent dance in sermon
The right cuts into wrong
Justice slithers on it's...

Probably
Here I sit, again
Dried ink in chewed pen
Stuck on the tides of time like a mudslide chasing the sun
Here I am, once more
Painful knees with toes sore
Counting the steps I've taken backwards as if they led me away
Every moment lost
Every lesson's cost
As I learn in repeat the same instances that haven't happened yet
So here I stand, again
To moan as I stretch my limbs
Walking on the sifted hours so that they may be replaced by forgotten memories
Dried ink in chewed pen
Stuck on the tides of time like a mudslide chasing the sun
Here I am, once more
Painful knees with toes sore
Counting the steps I've taken backwards as if they led me away
Every moment lost
Every lesson's cost
As I learn in repeat the same instances that haven't happened yet
So here I stand, again
To moan as I stretch my limbs
Walking on the sifted hours so that they may be replaced by forgotten memories

Ranges
This range
Is based on a day with nothing to say
Nothing to ever change
It all stays the same
Deranged
Crazed in a way where shame stays in place
It won't fade away
It's all here to stay
Rearranged
Like games played in an untamed maze
It's lost in a haze
Never evaporates
Is based on a day with nothing to say
Nothing to ever change
It all stays the same
Deranged
Crazed in a way where shame stays in place
It won't fade away
It's all here to stay
Rearranged
Like games played in an untamed maze
It's lost in a haze
Never evaporates

Light Pollution
My heart is heavy
I can't see the stars
I look up at nothing
Truly it's daunting
The blind and I
Share this in common
The city and it's limits
Steal my dreams away
The canvas empty
Though it does not provoke
I imagine the colors
That I know are there
Splendor lost
The sky is gone
Not a twinkle in sight
How depressing
I can't see the stars
I look up at nothing
Truly it's daunting
The blind and I
Share this in common
The city and it's limits
Steal my dreams away
The canvas empty
Though it does not provoke
I imagine the colors
That I know are there
Splendor lost
The sky is gone
Not a twinkle in sight
How depressing
